Disclaimer: I'm white, which I'm sure will impact every aspect of this review.

Prior to this, I've been vaguely in favor of reparations, but had very little idea how they would work in practice. Some of the texts I've tried to read on the topic have been so dense that I can't follow them, or so abstract as to be meaningless to me. Topics like reparations and landback have been poorly understood in a lot of the social justice spaces I've encountered. I'm going to need to go through this collection slowly... at the time of writing this, I haven't finished reading every essay, but this book has done a lot to shape my understanding of the need for and the practical road to reparations.

Full review to come. I received this book as an ARC from the publisher, and I want to encourage people to pick it up! Five stars so far, and given how much I've already gotten out of it, I can't see that changing.
